Installing the NetBackup client packages

To create and manage NetBackup instances, you need access to the NetBackup client software so that you can install it on the computers that you want to back up.

The NetBackup client packages are included with the Electronic Software Distribution (ESD) images for NetBackup product installation. You can download the NetBackup ESD images from the Downloads page on the Veritas Support website.

For more information about installing the client software, refer to the NetBackup Installation Guide, which is accessible from the NetBackup page on the Support website.
